Note: Movementdetails seems ok but dial is openface with
sekonds at 3:00
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Your watch features a conversion dial, allowing an original hunting movement to be fitted in an open face case with the stem still at the 12:00 position. This forces the seconds bit to be located at the 3:00 position.
